“Sherlock” is coming back to BBC One for a third season and, though we’ve seen countless photos and even footage from the London set, we now have the first official promo pic above. Click to see it in full.

A modern take on the classic story of Sherlock Holmes and his ever faithful sidekick Dr. John Watson, “Sherlock” first aired in the UK before it crossed over to the US and became a huge hit.

The third season premieres in January 2014, with Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Sherlock, once hinting that fans shouldn’t hope for any new episodes beyond season 4.

However, until the end comes, we have some pretty amazing things to look forward to, like, for instance, the key to Sherlock’s apparent death at the end of season 2. Sorry if that was a spoiler for you.

“How did he do it? And how will John take the news that his best friend faked his own death? What will #Sherlock think when he finds out John has fallen in love with Mary Morstan?” BBC One teases on Twitter, where the photo was posted.

Are you excited about the return of “Sherlock,” even though it’s still some way down the road?
